Bouteille (0.5l): Literally black, smaller tanned foamy layer, moderate roasty nose, some berries, some chocolate detectable; almost robust bitter-sweet flavour, rounded by a delicate acidity, almost medium bodied and soft; lingering bitter-sweet chocolatey-fruity and roasty finish. Fine, fine brew...

Cask-conditioned at the Three Tuns, Bristol 26/1/2016. Near black with a hint of red and decent, beige, head. Sweetish dark fruits, a touch of chocolate, black coffee and a dryish finish. A good dark beer.
